Facial bone scintigraphy. II. Diagnostic potential in neoplastic and inflammatory lesions.

From a series of about 200 facial bone scintigraphies, 32 patients were selected to demonstrate the uptake of 99Tcm-diphosphonate in various inflammatory and neoplastic diseases in the sinuses and oral cavity. The method was found of value in separating patients with inflammatory involvement of the bone from those without, as well as in assessing possible bone involvement in malignant lesions.

[Cryotherapy of benign neoplasms of the soft tissues in the maxillofacial area].

In the light of the relevant literature and of personal studies, the author deals with the possibilities of treating benign neoformations in the maxillofacial region by cryotherapy. The results are discussed from the aspects of cryophysical and cryobiological prerequisites. The extension in depth of the changes is the decisive criterion for cold application.

Extranasopharyngeal juvenile angiofibroma.

A rare case of juvenile angiofibroma arising from the base of the skull outside the nasopharynx and extending into the pterygo-maxillary fossa and cheek is discribed. It is possible, by a combined zygomatic and buccal approach, successfully to excise such a tumour.

Granular cell myoblastoma in Nigerian Igbos.

Three cases of granular cell myoblastoma occurring in the Igbos of Nigeria are reported. In this ethnic group the tumor has shown several typical features as follows: it is rarely diagnosed preoperatively; it is found more frequently in the oral cavity and breast than in most other sites; and it is in the maxilla of girls that it usually presents congenitally. A unique presentation in this ethnic group occurred in the perineum. The lesion found in this site appears to be the first to be reported in the literature.

[Buccal metastases from soft-tissue cancers. A report on 3 cases (author's transl)].

Histological examination of the gingivovestibular lesion in the first case with known kidney cancer, confirmed the metastatic nature of the buccal tumor and its origin. The second case raised the problem of the diagnosis of a labial swelling occurring during widespread metastases from breast cancer. The third case was more complex as the palatine lesion was seen initially, and metastatic seeding extremely rapid. This led to the hypothesis only, that bronchial cancer was the primary lesion.

[Changes in the oral mucosa in the aging patient].

The most frequently observed diseases of the oral mucosa in ageing patients are: leucoplacic changes, lichen ruber planus, pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigoid and the Gougerot-Sjögren syndrome. However, there are other affections which are described in their characteristic symptomatology: --whitish changes--changes by pigments--aphtous or aphtoid changes--bullous and erosive changes--tongue burning and glossodynia--tumorous and exulcerative changes. The different diagnostic aspects are particularly explained.

Facial bone scintigraphy. III. Effects of radiation therapy.

The uptake of 99Tcm-DP in normal facial bones was not changed by irradiation of malignant tumors. The intensity of the pathologic uptake into regions with active parodontitis in a few patients increased during irradiation. The uptake of 99Tcm-DP in bone with neoplastic growth varied during the period of treatment, probably depending on the tumor reaction to irradiation.

Congenital fibromyxoma: report of case.

We have reported the clinical behavior and histochemical patterns of a congenital fibromyxoma in the soft tissues. The tumor was excised without difficulty; one year postoperatively, no recurrence was seen by clinical and radiographic examinations. There were no findings to suggest that the myxoma is a true neoplasm derived from the so-called myxoblast.

Peripheral ameloblastoma: report of case and review of the literature.

A case of an extraosseous ameloblastoma occurring in a 33-year-old woman has been described. Of the 11 cases documented in the literature, only nine fulfill the histologic and clinical criteria for a true peripheral ameloblastoma. In contrast to the intraosseous ameloblastoma, the diagnosis of extramedullary or peripheral ameloblastoma implies a less aggressive neoplasm that can be treated by a more conservative surgical approach.

The peripheral odontogenic fibroma.

An extensive review of the English-language literature has produced only five undoubted cases of peripheral odontogenic fibroma. This article reports ten new cases. The age and sex of the patients and the distribution by site and histology of the lesions are compared with those of other cases of bifrous tumors and neoplasms of odontogenic origin. It is postulated that this lesion may be more closely related to the fibrous euplis than was previously realized. Both lesions show hyperplasia of the basal layer of the covering ipithelium into double strands resembling odontogenic epithelium. It is suggested that this hyperplasia may be related to induction of the covering epithelium by primitive ectomesenchymal remnants within the gingivae. Proliveration of odontogenic rests within the peripheral odontogenic frbroma may be related to the same stimulus.

Large-cell carcinoma metastatic to the jaw. Report of a case.

A case of two metastatic lesions of the oral mucosa simulating odontogenic infections is presented. One lesion mimicked chronic pericoronitis, and the other lesion mimicked a dental abscess. The case stresses the need for routine biopsy and pathology examination of conditions found in the oral cavity.

Myxomas of the paraoral--oral soft tissues.

Fifteen cases of soft-tissue myxoma of the paraoral-oral structures have been presented. Eleven cases were garnered from an extensive review of the literature, and four previously unreported cases are described. The myxomas were slow-growing, insidious, infiltrative tumors which occurred in all age groups, with an average patient age of 38 years. Most frequent locations were the cheek, floor of the mouth, and palate. The lesions were present from 2 weeks to 6 years prior to treatment. In this series all the myxomas were treated by surgical excision, with no evidence of recurrences or metastases. The recommended therapy is surgical resection with adequate margins. Other myxomatous lesions which may mimic a myxoma are mentioned.
